I calculated that my normal weekly shop at my local supermarket has dropped by £1.25!  Thats not going to stimulate me to restart the ecomony by spending large on goods!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's not all bad though, my INQ1 that I will buy in the next few days has dropped by almost £2!  Now maybe if I spent that extra £2 at Wollworths* I might save them too..........&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers for now,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Trevor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* For those overseas readers Woolworths is a UK shop that has just gone into administration, and is on the verge of collapse.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TrevorBennett</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 04:56:13 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
